6.6.2 Method 2 — Wheelchair Without Step Tubes
This method requires two assistants. The second assistant
should be positioned at the front of the wheelchair lifting
upward on a non-removable (non-detachable) part of the
wheelchair frame when lifting the wheelchair and stabilizing
the wheelchair when the wheelchair is being lowered to
the ground.
The first assistant should stand on the sidewalk and turn the
wheelchair so that the rear wheels are against the curb.
Turn the anti-tippers so the anti-tip wheels are pointing up.
The wheelchair should be tilted back to the balance point
and, in one continuous upward movement, the rear wheels
should be pulled up and over the curb. DO NOT return the
front casters to the ground until the wheelchair has been
pulled backward far enough for the front casters to clear
the edge of the curb.
